Real Life Heroes

Good morning, everyone. I hope your day is wonderful.  :)

I wanted to talk about and pay respect to my heroes. I have been lucky enough to meet people who have completely changed me for the better. These ladies are once in a lifetime sort of people. I don't think I could find others like them. This takes nothing away from my other friends; these ladies just play multiple roles. I'd like to talk to you today about three people: Ernie Pyle, Mrs. Rogers, and Super Woman. (Nicknames are difficult to come up with, so don't laugh at me too much.)

Ernie Pyle: I pray that everyone has someone like this in her life. I met her when I was 16, and she is the biggest reason that I am doing what I am today. She has inspired me since day one. She is kind, giving, friendly, loyal, funny, smart, strong, and is always there when I need her. It's hard to come up with words to say about her because I can't think of anything that would truly do her justice. I will never be able to repay her for all she has done for me. She is equal to none in my eyes. I have said it before, but I would love to be even half the person she is. Thanks, Ernie. :) You (and all of the "Pyles") are truly irreplaceable.

Mrs. Rogers: Oh, my. Where do I even begin? Hilarious. She is easily the funniest person that I know. I never worry about much when I am around her because I am having too much fun. That's what I love most about her. I can forget about anything that is bothering me. We just laugh, do stupid things (always legal, of course), and have a blast. I love being around her because I feel like I am a much happier person. Even with all of this, I still can tell her anything. She is always there to help when my "25-year-old life ending" problems arise. She is absolutely incredible. She has taught me to not worry so much, soak up every minute, and just be happy. Mrs. Rogers, you rock. So glad I met you and your wonderful family.

Super Woman: I don't know that I have ever met anyone like this lady. Most people would crumble dealing with half of the things she has had to go through in her life, but she still stands tall and moves forward. I want to soak up every second I have with her because I know that I am by someone who is incredibly special. No matter what is going on in her life, she always wants to know what is happening with me. She is a constant support and a wealth of knowledge. I have the utmost respect for all she is and does. I have shared some of the most special times in my life with her. We've had side splitting laughter and gut wrenching tears. Through it all, I know we'll always share a special bond. I hope she knows how much I love and admire her. :)

My life is full of extraordinary people, but I must put a spotlight on these three. I wouldn't be who I am without them. I owe them the world. I don't know what I have done to deserve them in my life, but I won't question it. I will simply enjoy every chance I get to be around these incredible ladies.

Go do good things,

BT
